TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 Reverb

Description

TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 Reverb

he addition of MASH to the Hall Of Fame 2’s high quality reverb effects means that you will never think about reverb in the same way again.

Mini Toggle

This toggle sets the pre-delay of the reverb. Basically, it controls the duration of time before the original signal ‘bounces off the wall’. A short pre-delay makes the reverb sound like you are close to a wall and vice versa. We increased the max pre-delay time to 300 milliseconds for extra-large rooms.

Decay

Set the decay to determine how long you want to hear the effect. This will take you from a tight club-like feel to overwhelming cascades of cathedral reverberation.

Level

This will let you adjust how loud the reverberations will be. Set the volume of the reverb effect from barely noticeable ambience to all-encompassing soundscapes.

Tone

Controls the volume of the octave up signal. Bright and crispy sounding reverb or dark and gloomy? The tone control lets you dial in the right balance color to your tonal palette. This will also make the effect appear more prominent or elusive.

Type Selector

Choose between 8 studio quality reverb types, including the new Shimmer, and use the 3 TonePrint slots to either design your own reverb or select one from the TonePrint family of artists. You may have noticed that Tile, Amb, and Gate reverbs are missing from the dial. Not to worry – You can still get them through TonePrint Editor.

Footswitch

Press the switch to turn on the pedal. After that, you simply hold down the switch to engage MASH. The technology is pressure sensitive so the harder you press down, the more intense the effect. Lift your foot and MASH is bypassed. Of course, you still get either true- or buffered bypass by using the easy-to-access internal dip switch.

MASHlight

The MASHlight indicates the intensity of the effect controlled by MASH. Putting pressure on the footswitch will make the MASHlight brighter and lifting your foot off the pedal will make it dimmer.

MASH Presets

For each reverb type, MASH has a different effect. Here is a quick overview.

Room

In the Room setting, MASH controls the level of the reverb effect. If you turn the level knob all the way down, you can use the MASH switch as a volume pedal for the reverb signal. This means that if you don’t MASH the switch the reverb is inaudible.

TonePrint 3

The third TonePrint is a Church reverb with Shimmer and a luscious TriChorus. MASH controls the input level of your instrument, acting just like a volume pedal. This means that the signal is only audible when you MASH the switch!

Hall

In the Hall setting, MASH controls the level of the reverb effect. If you turn the level knob all the way down, you can use the MASH switch as a volume pedal for the reverb signal. This means that if you don’t MASH the switch the reverb is inaudible.

Spring

Set on Spring reverb, MASH controls the level of the reverb effect. If you turn the level knob all the way down, you can use the MASH switch as a volume pedal for the reverb signal. This means that if you don’t MASH the switch the reverb is inaudible.

Plate

Using the Plate setting, MASH controls the level of the reverb effect. If you turn the level knob all the way down, you can use the MASH switch as a volume pedal for the reverb signal. This means that if you don’t MASH the switch the reverb is inaudible.

Church

When you go to Church, MASH controls the reverb decay for a maximum of 20 seconds. Once you lift your foot of the switch, the decay parameter will return to the position of the decay knob. Pro tip: Set the decay knob to minimum for a dramatic effect!

Shimmer

In Shimmer mode, MASH raises the volume of the Shimmer effect, which essentially is sending the Church algorithm through a Sub ‘N’ Up Octaver in a feedback loop. At the same time, MASH controls the reverb decay to a maximum of 13,9 seconds. Finally, it also changes the tone of the Shimmer sound.

Mod

Using the Mod setting, MASH affects the speed and depth of the reverb modulation provided by our sweet sounding TriChorus algorithm known from the Corona Chorus.

LoFi

In the LoFi mode, MASH controls reverb decay up to a maximum of 20 seconds. It also manipulates the tone of the reverb.

TonePrint 1

The first TonePrint preset is a Shimmer reverb based on the TC Ambient algorithm with an added vibrato effect. MASH controls the modulation depth and the feedback of the Vibrato.

TonePrint 2

The second TonePrint takes a Shimmer reverb based on the TC Cathedral algorithm and combines it with a flanger. MASH raises the volume of the Shimmer and the delay of the Flanger.
